Ride under blue sky

For two continuous week our local weather remains sunny and hot. All dry and blue sky. Good news for me but bad news for others. All pack up, bike in my sedan and i'm leaving for the trails to meet up with other mountain bikers to hit the trails that was located 5 minutes drive before Lambir National Park. As usual before ride i got my chance to view some new blings on our buddies rides, IBIS carbon bikes, FUJI carbon and SHIMANO SAINT which hardly seen at local shop. Cool.
We hit the trails at 3.30pm going up and down the hills i mean way up and way down. The surface was all hard rock and slippery so i had to keep my butt on the saddle to keep the grip down. The trail dust looks beautiful as it smokes some tails as we weave down the wide dry trails under the blue sky. We move from high hill down into fields of swampy plantation and again going up through toughest rocky trails like having 3x gravity on our feet. Some doesn't make it though but lucky me i already fuel up my body with dozen of bananas, high sugar carbonate drinks and few plates of meats in the morning...hehehee..
At the end of the ride i realised my brake lever losing its pivot king pin which holds the brake lever in its place. Damns that was the 2nd time i lose the pin. The rocky trails must have cause my bike to vibrate too much and it flew off the coop. Well time to get back and order custom parts for it. However my Sunday was well spent having back with buddies and burn back some calories so i can eat like a king again before next ride..hahahar.

Birthday?

I wake up as usual doing my usual business did even think a bit what's special going on everyday until i open my email received auto reponse from automated admin bot from forums saying happy birthday. oh? ok. so today is my birthday. Even when over to my website most online friend greet me well, i'm very happy. After few chats and post i close my pc and just go about as usual doing my thing. For others birthday is something to be proud of and ego boost of the day being king among its people...present, gift, goodies, candles, cake and all stuff under his or her name.
I only have my birthday when i was 3 years old then thats it. Throughout the years my birth day is just a normal quite day. Nothing so peculiar about or so concern about it. everyone should remember that being born here comes with reasons. To live, enjoy and die for something you believe in. My life concentrate more on getting more experience in life, gain more perpective view about the world, explore on curiousity , enjoy life, being humble and moderate. The only best gift i appreciate is "freedom". Not bound to orders, restriction, borders and criticism im at my free will. Hence should there be obstacles i have rights to eliminate and destroy without hesitation.....well which i practise when i was at young age, Birthday is freedom. So i did.

Fun under the sun

A week of hot weather, cloudless sky all blue atmostphere. As for me sunday was at best mood.... i like hot dry and sunny day especially weekends where outdoors activity are big times for me. As usual in the early morning i always have my ultra heavy breakfast and ultra heavy lunch lots of sugar and carbo stuff for my afternoon muscle overdrive. At 10am we have our usual bikers gathering behind our friends bike shop just to hangout and hear what's up for afternoon plans. All of us excited as today weather is much promising and won't be much of a muddy ride. By 3pm all of us gather around like bikers ritual site at our local beach side esplanade full of public beach goer which at the same time having a beach festival near by. Finding car to park is a mess but lucky we park in a same group. We gather under the shady trees at the heat sore up high under the bright blue sky, we went off 20 minutes later towards the hilly forest behind the plantation estate through narrow trails. Our riding routine as usual: ride up and down the hills, ram through bushes and cruise through dusty and rocky trails at chaotic speed and bla bla bla... Today hardest obstacles always been climbing the loose steep cracky hills, i felt like 50% of my sugar and fat burned into energy in just few minutes...which is good news for me as i need to empty my body for our BBQ dinner later once we arrive at finishing point. My mood swings up high, felt at higher karma, on my way to return home riding on reverse trails back towards finishing points my pedalling becomes lighter and enjoyable, felt like the wind pushing me from behind like friendly soul of the forest pushes lifting me forward at high speed, I just seat down comfortably and ride my bike like "flow like a river" through the trails using my body momentum....its was like dancing around the hall with a smile. Not a drop of sweat needed to pedal through rough terrain as i speeding at break neck speed. The wind was very breezy i felt at ease. I reach the finish point at the beach carpark in just few minutes leaving long trail of dust behind.

Few minutes later one by one all of us arrived and prepared our evening BBQ dinner hangout. BBQ sweet saucy lamb chop meat, snacks, ice creams, cold drinks, beer, local marinated shrimp sauce (cencaluk), fried chicken wings and other nice munchies waiting for us. Everyone was enjoying the evening chatting, sharing passion about the rides and had few stories to laugh about. I consumed too much food that evening more than what normal human being can handle....almost felt wanna puke. The evening sunset was beautiful as the sun slowly sunk behind the orange fantasy pink colored horizon where the sky is cloudless...its truly priceless to see such view and lucky enough to be outdoor witness it. Sky turn to pitch black and the stars began to sparkle brightly on clear sky, all of us still sit and relax as we gather round socializing ourself with BBQ stands still cooking our favorite dinner. More buddies turn up who absent for today ride including our road cyclist friends. We hangout till 8.30pm when all of us pretty well stuff out and food were all cleaned. So i head back for home, have a nice cold and hit the bed as i'm all tired and in a good mood to sleep.

Happy Mothers day

Today is a very special day tribute to all mothers especially to my mother. "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY". I get back home early from my usual mountain biking gathering in the afternoon. Reach home by 6pm and took bath. Went out to town and got ourself a nice decent dinner table where my parents and sister gather around enjoying dinner all nice seafood dishes. Of course its my treat today for my dearest loving mother and family. As usual i ordered my favorite butter prawn dishes to keep my spirit high in my stomach. My mom enjoyed it too. I manage to give her a card and present to express our love and thanks for her contribution to us. From her expression she was indeed very happy and gratefull that we're all together to share those happy moments. As we having our meal i watch my mother sip a bowl of ginseng soup slowly and looked into her eyes, skins and every feature of her. Very wrikley, aged and not as active as she used to be when i was young at teen age. Looks helpless i realised its time to pay her back with respect and gratitude. My mom raise us very well into a life full will all necessity that we need to keep us happy and educated. We as a children well protected and well pampered though i heard in the past she never had much luxury in life when she was young as my mother was born in a small village where electricity and modern things hard to come by. ...all wooden, fire stove, water and enough roofed shelter to keep her and her parent well lived back in those days. I guess i realised my mother don't want us to live in her old ways and raise us in such lucky environment. Even thou my parent live in such moderate economy class family they did their best to give us top notch education, food, facilities and entertainment without thinking themselves but all for the sake of their children...us. I don't think i can have such big capacity to be like her so i'm very much amaze with the volume of hardwork she pour onto us. She is almost getting into her 60's now. I was much worried as her health began to deteriorate. All the best i can do now is to make her happy, make a big family, a grandchildren for her soon and make sure she live with a life full off happy memories before the days ends. We as her children would like to say thanks for everything and there nothing in this world that can match her hardwork and love our onto us. We want her to be happy and we'll always be her side when in need. "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY" mom,

ooooo...Its Sunday

Ahh...Sunday is my special day. Morning always been the best for me as i'm ready to fill my stomach with vast amount of high calories of food for extreme outdoor activity workout in the afternoon...yup mountain biking. In the city it looks really hot and sunny in the early morning but by 11am it started to get gloomy and huge down pour in just a second like huge tsunami without warning. I was expecting to be extreme wet when we reach the Bakam jungle trails but surprisingly the black cloud prefer to storm directly over the city. Hmmm.. must be urban polution factor. I rode with our fellow biker from 3.00pm till 5.00pm much faster than usual because we're doing it at racing pace to clock out time trial speed. Its was all extreme climbing, speed and death defying ride but those thrill enough to give me a big smile and huge laugh when i get back home.

Just another evening

Its nice to be out there meeting friends and do some healthy activity after working hours. You train your hand agility and learn new stuff everyday. Plus strengthen friendship among racer.
